      And if its not ok??

      I suppose you could always look up upgrading the auto - add an external coolor, nomad valve body, lock up switch, etc...

        Ugh that sounds expensive. I've heard about the external cooler but haven't the faintest idea about the other stuff you said haha

            I know a guy who had a Kimberly Kamper which is 1.4-1.5 tonne, he towed that everywhere with his 90 series diesel which is much the same as the 120 4 speed. I know he struggled towing that camper across the Simpson Desert, but he hid it.

            When I had mine I towed a loaded car trailer that was over 2 tonne with 5 male adults in the Prado, we did 300k including some decent hills on the South Eastern Freeway heading into Adelaide, it handled that pretty easily.

            So I would say yes it would handle it.

            Cheers Andrew

              Thanks Andrew. The camper we are looking at buying is rated to 1.5 but hopefully won't weigh that much.

                My campers have been upto 1100kg when fully loaded and with the old 1kz I towed that maybe 40-50,000 Kms all over the country, uphill into a 40 knot wind it struggled but otherwise it did the job without much trouble.

                Cheers Andrew

                  Does that include the 1000 litres of water that you carry to fill the portable swimming pool that sits on top of the camper?

                    No, I carry dehydrated water for that, just pour it in and add water and its just like the real thing, saves heaps of weight
